Question: What Do you Think OF Modern Poetry!? Is there an Advantage!?
I was just thinking after reading countless poems here on Yahoo that those that write modern Poetry have an advantage over those who write the traditional Prose!. It's like they can use a metal bat compared to a wood bat but in this case it's in Poetry!. What do you think!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think that Modern Poetry is easier because U don't have to worry about the rhyme!.!. which 'd give the advantage to ahead with throwing his image particles on the paper!. Such advantage, would confuse the reader for too much pieces to put together!. some like this PUZZLE , some prefer the (good) old style!.
Modern poetry however, gave the chance for those youth to bring all their thoughts and feelings to the Yahoo! poetry circuit !.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Advantage" implies a struggle!. I don't feel you on that one!. There are lots of people here who are masters of the traditional styles, Granny Jill and Dondi come to mind!. There are also many fine free-form artists like Evadne and Todd!. There are many others who do both very well, too many to list!. I think the Internet has brought poetry closer to the mainstream, not changed it, or, as you imply, made it easier!. I will admit that the Internet has made me a faster poet!. I can research at warp speed!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Well since they classify poety as art!.

Its in the eye (ear) of the beholder!.

Ones mans junk in another mans treasure!.

Poetry is simply a matter of opionion, Just because millions of people think its good, doesn't mean i think it is!.

I don't enjoy shakespeare at all, but i love edgar allen poe!.

just as I don't like Monet's paintings, but i love Van Goughs!.

Poetry for me is a realease, and a way to share with other certain feelings!. And most people that agree with my point of view enjoy my work, while others don't!.

I do believe the critiques on yahoo, are way to lineint, I see so many bad poems come through, that people praise about!.

but then again, its all a matter of opionion!.

AirHead, i await your opinion of my poem for today!.

I guess I will have to Ditto TD can't think of another comment, that he hasn't already covered! Except for this quote-- different stokes for different folks! Cheers!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

The advantage is that lots of people with no talent and no ear for what sounds right can delude themselves that they are 'poets'!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Gawd, I even get to write the poetry I have forgotten!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
